| Keyword | gracious |
| Koohii Story 1 | Goodness gracious! Such an elegant turkey with a tusk. This mnemonic is meant to join RtK´s keyword with a better proposition. Heisig could have used "elegant" here, which is not confounded so easily with graceful (#721), and accurately represents the character´s meaning (it is also the chosen keyword in Kodansha´s Kanji Learner´s Dictionary). |
| Koohii Story 2 | To not confuse it with grace (#606) or graceful (#721), think of the phrase "Goodness gracious." Like: "Goodness gracious! A turkey with tusks!". |
